Wall Street Is Calling for S&P 8,000 — Is the Last 3% Worth Chasing?
Wall Street has just given the bulls another reason to celebrate. J.P. Morgan raised its 2026 year-end target for the S&P 500 from 7,800 to 8,000.

(Digital Daily) Neither Apple nor CXMT has publicly confirmed the talks, and no specific pricing details have been disclosed. Still, the report is not an isolated signal. Reuters reported in July that CXMT had started raising prices for major customers including Huawei, with some DDR5 server-memory products quoted above comparable
